Bio
With my over 40 years in the floral industry, I've touched the lives and hearts of many. Beginning as a flower shop delivery boy in the late 60's, then becoming an assitant grower at a large nursery in Carpinteria, Ca. in the mid seventies, to returning to my home town and purchasing that same flower shop, Camfeldt's Flowers and Design, my floral knowledge has increased exponentially. I was inducted into the foremost floral design association, The American Institute of Floral Design (aifd) in 1996 and currently represent The Association by mentoring the student chapter at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, Ca. Through my floral journey I have landscaped, porchscaped, created interior designs, custom permanent designs, and just about anything connected to the design world. My backround in plant growing has enabled me to really give our clients great value and backround, while creating custom plant designs to give to their loved ones and friends. The next part of my journey is to educate other florists in need of an "uplift" whether it be in displays for their shops, utilizing what they have on hand to design creatively, or just general floral knowlege to take them into a different realm reinventing themselves to become the designers they know they are. I'm also on a track to let our clients know more about us and what we can do for them, so we're just not in a "florist" box. My blogs will be informative and fun, and a great way to spend a few moments.
